Kazakh Traditional Costumes
Traditional women's clothing in Kazakhstan is typically made of silk or other luxurious fabrics and consists of a long dress adorned with exquisite embroidery and beadwork. Women wear a wide waist belt to accentuate their figure. The styles and designs of headwear vary depending on the region and occasion, with decorations such as gemstones, feathers, or colourful ribbons. These headdresses are often worn during weddings, festivals, and other special occasions. Men's clothing is also made of silk or other luxurious fabrics and includes a long robe decorated with intricate embroidery on the collar, cuffs, and other areas. These costumes reflect the traditional nomadic cultural identity in Kazakhstan.
